When three women's lives come together in a mad Regency tale of flight and pursuit, things go rather awry as expectations are disappointed, suitors spurned, and happy endings seem further off than ever before. Will Camilla, Alice and Louisa find their destinies, or will true love be thwarted as they throw caution to the winds? Married by Michaelmas is the fast-paced tale of three women, all bound on a path away from matrimony for various reasons...but fate always has a tendency to have its own way, and for Camilla, Louisa and Alice, there are enough mix-ups, intrigues and angst-ridden moments of pursuit and discovery, that they each must question their choices in life. Along the way they each must dodge unwanted suitors, untangle mixed identities, and generally try to behave like the decorous Regency ladies they are, all while attempting to avoid their individual fates! Married by Michaelmas is sure to please, with its fast paced action, its tongue-in-cheek humour, and its colourful assortment of characters.
